% If you're reading this, be prepared for confusion. Making this was

% 2008-04
% Changed page margin code to use the geometry package. Also added code for
% conditional page margins, depending on paper size. Thanks to Uwe Ziegenhagen
% for the suggestions.
% 2006-08
% Made changes based on suggestions from Gene Cooperman. <gene at ccs.neu.edu>

% \listoffigures \listoftables
% \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
% This sets page margins to .5 inch if using letter paper, and to 1cm
% if using A4 paper. (This probably isn't strictly necessary.)
% If using another size paper, use default 1cm margins.

\verb!slides! & Large sans-serif font.
\end{tabular}
Used at the very beginning of a document:
\verb!\documentclass{!\textit{class}\verb!}!. Use
\verb!\begin{document}! to start contents and \verb!\end{document}! to
end the document.
\subsection{Common \texttt{documentclass} options}
\newlength{\MyLen}
\settowidth{\MyLen}{\texttt{letterpaper}/\texttt{a4paper} \ }

\begin{tabular}{@{}p{\the\MyLen}%
@{}p{\linewidth-\the\MyLen}@{}}
\verb!\author{!\textit{text}\verb!}! & Author of document. \\
\verb!\title{!\textit{text}\verb!}! & Title of document. \\
\verb!\date{!\textit{text}\verb!}! & Date. \\

These commands go before \verb!\begin{document}!. The declaration
\verb!\maketitle! goes at the top of the document.
\subsection{Miscellaneous}
\settowidth{\MyLen}{\texttt{.pagestyle.empty.} }
\begin{tabular}{@{}p{\the\MyLen}%
@{}p{\linewidth-\the\MyLen}@{}}

\end{multicols}
{\raggedright
Section commands can be followed with an \texttt{*}, like
\verb!\section*{!\textit{title}\verb!}!, to supress heading
numbers. \verb!\setcounter{secnumdepth}{!$x$\verb!}! supresses heading
numbers of depth $>x$, where \verb!chapter! has depth 0.
}

often of the form \verb!\label{sec:item}!. \\
\verb!\ref{!\textit{marker}\verb!}! & Give section/body number of marker. \\
\verb!\pageref{!\textit{marker}\verb!}! & Give page number of marker. \\
\verb!\footnote{!\textit{text}\verb!}! & Print footnote at bottom of page. \\
\end{tabular}
\subsection{Floating bodies}
\settowidth{\MyLen}{\texttt{.begin.equation..place.}}

The command (t\textit{tt}t) form handles spacing better than the
declaration (t{\itshape tt}t) form.

\subsection{Math-mode symbols}
% The ordering of these symbols is slightly odd. This is because I had to put all the
% long pieces of text in the same column (the right) for it all to fit properly.
% Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to fit four columns of symbols here.
